Maintaining a connection with both the artificial and emotional, Brault captures a progressive mood in his most recent EP
Canadian Philippe Brault is an artist with a wide range of skills at his disposal, having worked as a sound designer, producer, and arranger. He took steps towards touring as a musician at the early age of eighteen, and his rise in the electronica community has seen him work closely with artists such as Pierre Lapointe, Dear Criminals, Philémon Cimon and Salomé Leclerc. It’s a journey which has earned Brault awards for his involvement in projects both as an arranger and composer, including the IRIS for Best Original Score.
His identity as an established professional has also helped fuel tours across Europe and Quebec, but the territory Brault has ventured into most recently is that of krautrock and post rock, as he announces his newest EP.
Titled “Fear and Greed”, the five track collection strives on the balance of mechanical resolution and deeply human disassociation. Originally the music scored a 2019 production of the same name, created by choreographer Frederick Gravel. Brault constructed the tracks featured on the EP with the show’s central theme of transcendence and ritual in mind, an approach which delivers a strikingly methodical soundscape which succeeds in illuminating a world of quiet emotion.
